University of Wisconsin President Ray Cross on Tuesday asked the Legislature's budget-writing committee to approve a new public authority for the UW System, a "dedicated and stable funding stream" and to reduce the governor's proposed $300 million budget cut over the next two years.

Shortly after he finished his testimony, a handful of protesters burst into the room shouting, "No cuts, no deals." Followed by four Capitol police officers, the protesters marched past the table where Cross was sitting to give testimony before the Joint Committee on Finance.

If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(3)

Pacers 102, Bucks 78

Indianapolis – It was another trip to Bankers Life Fieldhouse the Bucks would rather forget.

Milwaukee missed 16 consecutive shots in the third quarter and center Larry Sanders was ejected again as the Bucks fell to the Indiana Pacers, 102-78, on Friday night.

It fell apart for Milwaukee after Sanders was ejected after picking up consecutive technical fouls with 7 minutes 54 seconds left in the third quarter.

It was Sanders’ fifth ejection of the season and third in the last six games. He also was ejected from games against Washington and Miami last week. Teammate Marquis Daniels held Sanders and tried to keep him from picking up a second technical but referees Zach Zarba and Mike Callahan each whistled one on the Bucks center.

A puzzled Sanders said, "Am I out?" before quickly leaving the floor after being informed he had been ejected.
